Interplay Between River Formation and Historical Climatic Changes Drove Diversification of the Thamnomanes caesius and T. schistogynus (Passeriformes, Thamnophilidae) Species Complex Across Amazonian and Atlantic Forests

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 555-567, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The Amazon and Atlantic forests harbour immense biodiversity shaped by complex evolutionary history with diverse processes leading to species build‐up. We investigated the Cinereous Antshrike species complex (Thamnomanes caesius and T. schistogynus) to disentangle the relative contributions of riverine barriers and historical climatic ...

Reduced West Antarctic Ice Sheet Size During Prominent Quaternary Interglacials Constrained by Iceberg‐Rafted Debris Provenance in the Amundsen Sea

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract The stability of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) remains a major uncertainty in sea‐level projections, and geologic records provide important constraints on its past behavior. We present 40Ar/39Ar ages of biotite and hornblende grains from iceberg‐rafted debris (IRD) in two Amundsen Sea sediment cores (PC493 and PS58/254), located south ...

The 2025 Mw 7.6 Aomori‐Oki Megathrust Sequence and a Slip‐Parallel Seismic Belt to the Trench

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract The 2025 Mw 7.6 Aomori‐Oki earthquake nucleated near the 1968 Mw 8.3 Tokachi‐Oki rupture area. Our waveform inversion reveals large slip (>1 m) extending ∼40 km northward from the hypocenter, overlapping the inferred 1968 northern asperity. Minor secondary slip (0.2–0.6 m) was resolved ∼60 km updip, and high‐precision relocations show that ...

Rib Cross‐Sectional Mineralized Area in Early Pleistocene Hominins: Insights From the Homo antecessor and H. erectus s. l. Fossil Record

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Rib cross‐sectional mineralized area provides valuable insights into mechanical loading and bone growth and remodeling. Given the scarcity of Early Pleistocene costal remains in the context of human evolution, we aimed to study the cross‐sectional anatomy of fossil ribs from that period and compare them to a modern human ontogenetic

Phylogeny of the Electric Rays of the Family Narcinidae (Gill, 1862): Systematic Review and Evidence of the Dispersal Routes to America

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The family Narcinidae has a cosmopolitan distribution; however, its systematic composition and phylogenetic position within Torpediniformes remain poorly understood. This study evaluates the evolutionary and biogeographic history of the family Narcinidae and investigates its distribution patterns using molecular systematics.
